Hmmmm... being primarily a PC gamer has its disadvantages... although I would like to note that the only correct answers I got were those in which the games were available for PC.
True that, anything weird from Japan made me look like a question mark.

Although, Monkey Island!!

I have no shame in admitting that I registered for an account here at the escapist just so I could take this quiz. As you can probably tell from my badge, I'm quite happy with my score. I just wished I was faster about it so I could beat out John Funk and the guy in front of him.

You speak the truth, good sir. Laura's theme probably would have been too recognizable, but I might have suggested Lisa's theme from SH1, Rain of Brass Petals from SH3, or possibly even Witchcraft from Homecoming.

I got 60% right which is freaky considering just how many of these I had to guess on.

68%, seems to be around what most people are getting. Hearing the BF1942 theme again put a smile on my face.

Also, mine didn't show me a score. Anyone know what's the deal with that? When it finished all it showed me was the leader board.

I'm just kind of flabbergasted that there's actually someone who beat my test time...

Getting the jingle from that one mall in there was a pretty nice move.
Technically it fits for all four answers, it's almost impossible to figure out which one is correct if you haven't played the corresponding game.

I really liked that you had to really know the tunes and the quiz didn't use that much iconic themes. Would have been to easy.

I only managed 20 of them, but this was lots of fun! We need more "Guess the Clip" quizzes!

Question 12, the Hell March, possibly the best computer game song ever made.

I chose it for a reason. To Zanarkand is easily one of my favorite VG themes of all time. It's even better fully orchestrated in the Ending Theme :)

Over half right.... ALOT better than I thought I'd get considering i've played very few of the games on that list. Only about 4-5 were ones I knew instantly from having played the games. :o

Hooray for us having similar tastes. Its one of my personal favorites too. :)

Now I'm going to have to pull up my soundtrack and listen to it today. Actually that will be good because today is supposed to be a relaxing day, and that stuff is fairly good for that.

About 70% of it were JRPGs related, tha was unfair... I did know some but most of the time was like, '???????' was that....

I collect soundtrack for a long time, to 'The Lion King' to the hole 'Star Wars' saga, and since 2006, started collecting games music to, my game collection is not as big as the operas or movies, but i have faund some nice pices.... and none of them were from an JRPG... so whay so many JAP music?

Wow, third place, very well done. You're a sountrack expert, and welcome to the forums.

Hmm, I'm kinda disappointed with my result, because I consider myself a videogame-music-maniac. I mean, about 3000 different VG-Tunes on my iPod are pretty impressive, right? Too bad most of those are from series like Final Fantasy, Zelda or Silent Hill - in other words, games, that didn't get much love in this quiz... >_>

I agree. Blasphemy, I say, blasphemy!
